FYI, this is resolved in the file COPYING.README from the Galeon distribution:
The present copyright holders of this file have given permission,
as a special exception, to link this file with the Mozilla
rendering component and distribute linked executables, as long as you
follow the requirements of the GNU GPL in regard to all of the
software in the executable aside from that component.
Clearly you couldn't distribute a statically linked Galeon and Mozilla but I can't think of a single reason why you'd want to...
Unfortunately, Galeon works only for English-speaking users. If your language happens to use character set other than Latin-1, you are out of luck. Galeon also doesn't have other nice features, e.g. cookie/image/form manager (or right-click in Mozilla and Galeon - see?)
Try again. The only thing still missing form that list is the form manager. Try Galeon 0.10.1 (works just peachy with Mozilla 0.8).
Not true. Galeon supports cookies with Mozilla 0.7 (when using an additional static library). This additional library is no longer needed with Mozilla 0.8 and CVS versions (as will hopefully ship with GNOME 1.4).
Indeed, Galeon recently acquired a cookie manager every bit as good as the one in Mozilla. This is available in the unstable Galeon branch (CVS HEAD).
I have personally developed commercial software in a functional language (Objective Caml -- a form of ML).
The fast code and small memory footprint of our product completely undermine most people's objections to functional languages. The most significant comment we receive is how rarely the product crashes -- this (to me) is the most important part of programming in functional languages: getting the job done without bugs.
A project to reimplement similar functionality in C++ had to start by writing an efficient memory allocator, implementing reference counting et cetera. I get this for free, along with true higher order functions, and much more.
But remember kids: use the right tool for the job!

Have a look at SketchUp. It's more intended for technical drawing than artistic, but it does have pretty intuitive interface.
What you should have said is "as Mozilla gets better, so does Galeon". Which would have been true.
Quite how such an uninformed comment got modded up escapes me entirely....
